Item 1.01 |
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement |
|
|
On August 6, 2008, we entered into an unsecured 364-day $400 million revolving credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent and Swing Line Lender; Barclays Bank, PLC, BNP Paribas, Suntrust Bank, and UBS Loan Finance LLC, as Co-Documentation Agents; Banc of America Securities LLC, as Sole Lead Arranger and Sole Book Manager; and the other lenders named in the Credit Agreement. Several of the lenders named in the Credit Agreement are also lenders under our $1.2 billion multi-year revolving credit agreement that matures on July 14, 2011, and ONEOK Partners, L.P.'s $1 billion multi-year revolving credit agreement that matures on March 30, 2012. The Credit Agreement will mature on August 4, 2009. The interest rate applicable to extensions of credit is based, at our election, on either (i) the higher of the prime rate or one-half of one percent above the Federal Funds Rate, which is the rate that banks charge each other for the overnight borrowing of funds, or (ii) the Eurodollar rate plus a set number of basis points based on our current long-term unsecured debt ratings by Moody's Investor Services and Standard and Poor's Ratings Group. The Credit Agreement will be used as an additional back-up to our commercial paper program and for working capital, capital expenditures, and other general corporate purposes. The Credit Agreement contains usual and customary covenants for transactions of this type, including a limit on our ratio of consolidated total debt to total capital to no more than 67.5% at the end of any calendar quarter, a requirement that we maintain the power to control the management and policies of ONEOK Partners, L.P., and a limit on aggregate new investments in master limited partnerships. Any outstanding borrowing under the Credit Agreement may be accelerated if we fail to make payments due under the Credit Agreement, violate other obligations under the Credit Agreement, make inaccurate representations under the Credit Agreement, default on other indebtedness with a principal amount of more than $100 million, become insolvent, have a judgment entered against us requiring payment of an amount in excess of $100 million, fail to comply with ERISA laws with resulting liability in excess of $100 million or we experience a change of control. |
